O love of God, strong and true
In my barren soul a river running free
O love of God, swift and straight
You have washed away my sin and leave no trace

River rise and carry me away

I see you in the stars above
I feel you in the earth below
In waves that swell, in winds that blow
I marvel at the mystery
That one so great could love someone like me
Undeserved and free
O love of God
O love of God

O love of God, wonder's to me
That this quivering soul was lost and found in thee
O love of God, my shield and spade
Will you turn me to the oceans of your grace?

River rise and carry me away

I see you in the stars above
I feel you in the earth below
In waves that swell, in winds that blow
I marvel at the mystery
That one so great could love someone like me
Undeserved and free
O love of God
O love of God
O love of God
O love of God
